In the world of whole-genome sequencing, do we really need cytogenetics anymore? To answer this question, Chadi brings on two cytogeneticists: Linda Baughn, PhD, and Yassmine Akkari, PhD. They begin by describing their unique career paths to becoming cytogeneticists, their day-to-day responsibilities, and what tests they perform and on what specimens. They then simplify the commonly used assays in their labs, how cytogenetic techniques are evolving (rather than dying), what whole genome sequencing looks like in the future, and topics that cytogeneticists disagree on, among other discussion points.
